I'm 18 and have a Z with the mastergrade kit and all...no one hates on me..yet anyways...I guess some people are gonna get mad depending on how they grew up and all. My car was bought for me but the kit and all I bought myself and have spent pretty much the cost of a used Z on my car. To each his own but don't knock us young kids who have stuff handed to us because if you were young and someone handed you a 350z wouldn't you take it? Only knock the people and this goes for all ages, who don't appreciate what they have.

I'm more proud of a whole bunch of things ... not a one is a thing that I made payments on. My wonderful wife. My lovely and smart daughter. My service to the nation. My rank. My talents and skills.

... I'm sort of making payments on my Navy service ... in a lifetime of pain.
I'm going to borrow your compliment...VERY well put.

what's all this rubbish about parents rewarding their spoilt little brat with a car or using it as incentive to go to college, surely the incentive and reward for going to college is to get a decent job.

Anyone over the age of 25 hates teenagers anyway, they're irrelevant to our lives, they think they know everything, they think they're always right and they think people care about their opinions. We don't, and we really don't want to hear about how hard you have to work at school and so think you can justify your stuck up, inbred parents buying you stuff.

Go to school, grow pubic hair, get a job, leave us alone.

You just need to understand that you're following on the heels of MANY (and I do mean MANY) "punks" who want everyone on the planet to know that they're barely old enough to shave and have a 350Z. And again, I don't care if they're a teenager and have a Z, it's the fact that they practically "expect" me to be jealous because of their age relative to mine. It's a shallow mind-set that displays just how little they know of the world and the people around them. This forum is a community and you get respected for what you contribute, not who you are, how old you are, or your "status" in your own little corner of the world. Some folks here aren't mature enough to grasp that concept. You obviously are.....So....all that aside, where in VA are you, and will I meet you this summer at a Z meet? If so, drinks are on me...(I'm partial to Coke myself )
Damn, I would have held you to the drink offer if you were going to the South Florida Z BBQ in John Prince Park. Even if it wasn't offered to me. I'll probably have some nice footage of the event on video tape for everyone.

You are probably the 200th teenager to do this since I've been on this forum. This combined with the arrogance of assuming that we would be jealous that you have the same car as the rest of us just makes you annoying, which is why you feel 'hated on'. Sorry, but it's true. Don't think I'm hating on you, I'm just answering your question.

Ever notice how none of us "old people" even bring up our age as a topic of a thread? That's because we know nobody cares. Why do you think we should car how old you are?

Peace.
Well said.

We, the older members of the forum, see the underlying message or point you guys are trying to prove simple because we have been there and done that. You'd be surprised at we a little life experience teaches you about people. From our past experiences that you are going through right now, we reflect upon our past mentality and why we did the things we did. For the most part, I myself laugh at the things I did as a child. It would be nice to let you guys copy this thread on paper, then let you re-read it in about 15 years. I guarantee the majority that have matured by then and experienced a little of life will laugh at their present mentality.

Im 19 years old, finishing my first year of college, and Im buying a Z in the next few weeks if not days. Yes, my parents are HELPING me buying it, yes, they are insuring it... but hate on if you want, cuz 2 years after I graduate Ill be able to afford MYSELF a Porsche. Nothing wrong with parents helping out their kids. This is my reward for maintaining a 4.0GPA freshman year of college, Id say thats just about as valid as working a full time job and paying for it myself (even though I am putting up 5K as is.) If this issue is being spoiled, I assure you, I am not. Besides that, hate on haters, hate on...

I couldnt agree more with you more brother.
I've keept many e-mails from buisness partners, friends, and family for years now....
A few months ago, (Clearing my e-mail inbox) I re-read most of them. It was an "eye opener" for me. Those were only 2 or 3 years old btw

I think the reason why old people hate on young people is because you make it so easy. It's you damned kids that come on here and ask why everyone hates so hard. Just shut up and get a job already. Coming on here to tell everyone you got one for free is about as obnoxious as a three-year-old with a lollypop saying, "Nanny-nanny-boo-boo", to other kids. No one cares what you have if you aren't always trying to throw it in their face. You want to impress me?????? Buy a house to park that car in front of. Get a degree from a major university. $hit, I know 12 year olds that can drive. Driving doesn't make you all that special. Support your family. Those are impressive things. I don't care if your parents have you on the waiting list for a F430. Just shut hell up and drive it. Kids are becoming more and more obnoxious every day and that is really sad coming from me since I am only 27.

Damn Val, when did 27 get to be old? Did we really act like that when we were kids? I know I was quite the dumba$$ but I had to have more respect than that.

Yea, visit the FI section of this forum. You'll find out who the newbs, vets, gearheads, racers, and mentally challenged are very quickly.

No, the proper reward for getting a 4.0 is a nice dinner and a pat on the back...not a car. Good luck not getting a door ding from the kid who is running 5 minutes late for class and smacks his door off of yours.
